Horizontal Wells & Trenches

Horizontal Wells & Trenches

Equix constructs horizontal wells and trenches designed to provide a “buried” groundwater collection system that eliminates surface obstructions, including header pipes, electrical cable, etc., while providing gravity or vacuum extraction capabilities similar to conventional well and wellpoint systems.

Services Include:

  • Providing groundwater control under an existing landfill, in order to prevent off-site leachate escape.
  • Lowering groundwater under existing railroad tracks for a jack and bore operation located in a sandy condition immediately on top of underlying clay.
  • Miles of cross-country “sock dewatering” for multiple large-diameter pipeline construction.
